Question

Does the point(1, 8)satisfy the inequality y ≥ 7x + 1?

Answer 1

Yes.

Explanation:

y ≥ 7x + 1.

Plug the values in:

y = 8

7x + 1 = 7(1) + 1 = 8

As the inequality sign is ≥ then the point (1, 8) satisfies it.

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

Plug in the point (1,8)

y=8, x=1

8≤7(1)+1

8≤7+1

8≤8
